P*** Star Martini
Description
This cocktail begins by extracting fresh passion fruit juice from the seeds, lending a vibrant and tangy base. Vodka and Passoa add alcoholic depth and passionfruit flavor, while lime juice provides acidity to balance the sweetness. Optional sugar syrup allows customization of sweetness, and vanilla extract introduces a subtle aromatic note, especially if vanilla vodka is not used.
The mixture is shaken vigorously with ice to chill and dilute slightly, then double strained to remove seeds and pulp, resulting in a smooth drink. The chilled presentation enhances the refreshing qualities. Garnishing with a slice or half passion fruit adds visual appeal and extra fragrance.
Champagne or Prosecco is served on the side and meant to be sipped separately, complementing the flavors of the martini without being mixed in, letting each component shine individually.
Adjusting the balance between lime juice and sugar syrup lets drinkers tailor sweetness and tartness to taste, making it a versatile cocktail for various palates.
Ingredients
- 4 passion fruit 60ml / ¼ cup of juice, fresh
- 3 ½ fl oz vodka or Vanilla vodka, 100 ml
- 2 tbsp Passoa liqueur (passionfruit liqueur)
- 1 tbsp lime juice or more to taste
- 1 tsp sugar syrup (optional - adjust to taste)
- vanilla extract leave out if using Vanilla vodka, drop
- champagne to serve on the side, chilled or Prosecco
- 1 passion fruit sliced or halved to garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Put two martini glasses in the freezer to chill.
- Slice the passion fruit and scoop out the seeds into a small sieve set over your cocktail shaker. Press on the seeds with the back of a spoon to extract the juice. For a lazier option scoop the passion fruit fresh directly into the shaker.
- Half fill your cocktail shaker with cubed ice. Add the vodka, Passoa liqueur, lime juice, sugar syrup and vanilla extract i(f using). Shake hard for 30 seconds.
- Dip a straw into your drink and have a taste. Is it too sweet or too sour? Adjust by adding lime juice or sugar syrup as needed.
- Double strain the drink into the chilled cocktail glasses and garnish with a thin slice of passion fruit.
- Serve with shots of chilled Prosecco or Champagne on the side.
Notes
- Make simple syrup by simmering sugar and water until dissolved, then add vanilla paste or extract; refrigerate up to one week.
- Store-bought passion fruit purée can substitute fresh fruit but use quickly once opened.
- Vanilla vodka can be replaced by adding vanilla extract or vanilla pod seeds, or use vanilla simple syrup.
- Champagne or Prosecco is intended as a side drink, not mixed in; drink according to preference.
